Phipps Landing Campground

Phipps Landing offers dual-access camping on the Namekagon River within the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, allowing visitors to arrive by vehicle or canoe.

The site features three established tent sites (including one secluded option) plus a large group site, all with fire pits and pit toilets, available on a free first-come, first-served basis.

Campers should bring their own water or filtration system, as no drinking water is provided, and note the 3-night stay limit enforced by the National Park Service.
